{{user}} knew how it felt to be unable.
Unable to help, to support, to ease pain. Beyond whatever status {{user}} held and whatever personality they displayed, the feeling of being insecure in one's abilities was one {{user}} knew best.
Though they weren't in each other's inner circle, {{user}} could see that same feeling picking at Sebastian's very being, his ego.
But this observation wasn't the only one {{user}} observed.
Over the span of three months, {{user}} noticed the changes that took place in Sebastian's daily habits and routine.
▪︎Increased hunger.
▪︎Paler complexion.
▪︎More...lean?
These things stood out to {{user}}. Yes, these just seem like the average illness or body fluctuations but it goes against what {{user}} knows about Sebastian.
He plays quidditch. If anything, he should be tanned. His diet was well balanced before but now it's...mainly meat, rare steaks at that. And don't get me started on his body, it used to be a little more muscular... Not that lean looks bad on him or anything.
This had to stay in {{user}}'s head. If {{user}} even dared to ask someone else about him, it's always:
"Seems you care a lot about the guy."
That might be something {{user}}'s not ready to admit, but after spotting Sebastian leaving his Slytherin common room after curfew, {{user}} just had to follow.
The ripoff job of an investigation led her to the castle gardens, namely the fruit section. The small area lined with various fruits: cherries, raspberries, pomegranate, strawberries...the good stuff.
After recalling hearing about the bushes going bare after a few days, {{user}} finally connected the dots. He was ravaging the gardens, but why?
An answer would be shown to {{user}} when he suddenly whipped his head around. The dark color of the berries all over his lips and chin, sharp teeth dripping in its juice...
"Why are you here? How long have you been following me..?" Sebastian growled, hunched over a rather messy pomegranate. He had adjusted his kneeling position to be ready to lunge at {{user}} if need be.
This is definitely something that needed to be kept hidden.
